Chapter 354 Recognition
January 1, 2016, New Year’s Day.
It's a new year and everything has come to an end.
Some were sentenced to life imprisonment, while others were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.
Some people even died of depression because of the verdict.
This is about Mr. Qin, who had attempted suicide by swallowing pills and was rescued. However, because the verdict had been handed down, he could not accept the fate of his only son, and he soon died of illness.
These things have nothing to do with He Shu anymore. What he cares more about is his aunt and Uncle Zhou.
I heard that the Special Intelligence Bureau had become a thing of the past before New Year's Day.
After New Year's Day, my aunt will go to work at the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Uncle Zhou Zhensheng has retired early because of his poor health due to his previous injury and is not suitable to continue to hold important positions.
He Shu was not sure whether this was the result Uncle Zhou wanted or was forced upon him by the disbandment of the Special Intelligence Bureau.
But he knew that Zhou He was happy this time because his father would have time to accompany him more often in the future.
Niu Juncai called the bank to check the black gold card that He Shu had given him. The amount of money in it shocked He Shu.
Ten million... If he wants to withdraw it all at once, he can just go to the bank with his ID card.
He Shu thought that Uncle Niu might give him one million to repay his kindness, but he didn't expect that he underestimated the amount.
But isn’t this 10 million too much?
He called Uncle Niu, first sent him holiday greetings, and then asked him where he was.
Uncle Niu said that he had returned to Danhe, and his brother's family still lived in the countryside near Danhe, so He Shu met Uncle Niu twice on the flight from Danhe to Dadu.
He Shu was not going back home on New Year's Day, and he wanted to return the card in person, so he made an appointment with Uncle Niu to meet him when he came back.
He Shu's health has recovered well. He went for a follow-up examination before New Year's Day. The doctor said he could go to school, but not do strenuous exercise.
After hearing the doctor's words, my aunt finally agreed to let He Shu go back to school after the New Year's Day holiday.
Xia Miao did not go home for New Year's Day and plans to go back during the winter vacation.
For the family dinner in the evening, my grandfather called Grandpa Dong over, and my aunt Qi Xue also came back to eat, making the table full of lively atmosphere .
Qi Xue has hardly been home this month, and everyone knows that she is busy.
He Shu felt that his aunt looked thinner than before, and he thought that she must be very tired during this period.
"Nephew, can you go to school after New Year's Day?"
He Shu smiled and nodded: "I'm fine now. The doctor said it's ok."
"On the surface, it looks fine, but don't do any sports for now. How can a broken bone heal so quickly?"
"Okay, got it, auntie. I'll make up the PE credits after the Chinese New Year."
After talking to He Shu, Qi Xue looked at Qi Zhijun again: "Brother, I heard that you applied for early retirement?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu looked up at Qi Zhijun. He didn't tell her about this.
"Well, didn't Lao Zhou also retire?"
"Have you really thought it through? Someone asked me yesterday and advised you to give it some thought."
Qi Zhijun shook his head, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of white wine: "Don't think about it."
"Okay, then I won't advise you anymore."
I don't know if the two old men didn't hear it, Grandpa Dong just stared at Qi Zhijun's wine glass, and grandpa kept asking Xia Miao to reach for more chopsticks.
Qi Zhijun felt embarrassed to drink because of being stared at. In fact, he didn't drink on weekdays and only drank a little during festivals and New Year.
"How about I pour you some?"
Zhu Yu glared at Qi Zhijun and said, "Can't you just put the wine away? The doctor doesn't allow the old man to drink it, are you really tempting him?"
Qi Zhijun scratched his head and put away all the wine glasses and bottles.
Xia Miao was afraid that she would laugh out loud, so she lowered her head quickly. He Shu was also laughing, but her uncle glared at her: "What are you laughing at? Eat quickly, it's so hard to eat, are you born in the year of the cat?"
He scolded He Shu, and this time his grandfather was not deaf: "Do you think everyone is like you? You eat everything and never get enough!"
Qi Zhijun was so embarrassed that he didn't say anything, but Qi Xue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Old Master Dong also laughed. Seeing the lively family, he felt very depressed.
His old age was miserable, and he had no children. The older I got, the more I envied him.
Mr. Qi and Mr. Dong have known each other for a lifetime, how could he not know what he is thinking?
He asked Qi Zhijun to go to the kitchen to get some wine, and then he took out two small wine cups and poured a glass for himself and Mr. Dong respectively.
"Old Dong, what do you think of my grandson?"
When Mr. Dong saw the wine, his mind was focused on the glass. Just as he was about to take it, his hand was held down.
"Old Qi, don't show off to me. Are you really trying to poke me?"
"Drink after you finish answering."
Qi Xue put down her chopsticks and looked at her father. She seemed to have anticipated what her father was going to say.
"Well, your grandson is the best. Hey, you are more blessed than me."
"Hehe." Grandpa Qi handed his cup to He Shu, who looked at his grandfather in confusion.
Grandpa didn't look at him, but looked at Old Man Dong: "We have been comrades-in-arms for life. We ate from the same pot and carried guns together."
"I still remember the fish noodles my sister-in-law made, served with chili peppers. She called it chili peppers. It was delicious. I will remember it forever."
Mr. Dong was impatient and wanted to take the wine glass: "Why are you talking about this? How many years have passed?"
But grandpa still held his hand and didn't let him drink.
"I introduced so many people to you later, but you didn't choose any. This is the only thing I admire about you, Mr. Dong, in my life."
"You also think that my eldest grandson is good, right? Would you like to have him as your grandson?"
Mr. Dong then took his eyes off the wine glass and asked, "What did you say?"
"Hehe, don't think too much, just recognize him as your grandson."
He Shu was a little confused because his grandfather didn't discuss this with him in advance.
"He Shu, raise your glass, and have a drink with your grandfather."
He Shu obediently raised his glass and stood up. Mr. Dong looked at He Shu with his cloudy eyes.
"We are all this age now. There will be that day in the future. When the time comes, my grandson and your godgrandson will wear mourning for you."
Qi Zhijun interrupted and said, "Dad, it's a holiday, why are you saying such unlucky things?"
Mr. Qi didn't treat him well: "You know shit, go stand guard outside after you're full."
Qi Zhijun was speechless and just sat there quietly.
Mr. Dong looked at He Shu, who stood up and held the wine glass, for a long time.
Suddenly he burst into laughter and pointed at Old Man Qi: "You old thing, I already have grandchildren, why should I die? Don't I have to live a few more years?"
After he finished laughing, he raised his hand and drank the wine. Seeing this, He Shu hurriedly followed suit, although he had not changed his words yet.
But Grandpa Dong stopped him: "Don't listen to your grandpa, you haven't recovered yet, and what's the point of a child drinking alcohol?"
"Well, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink. It's enough as long as the intention is there. Then He Shu, kowtow to your grandfather and take advantage of today to recognize your relationship."
Everyone else was quiet. Although they didn't know in advance that the old man would make such a fuss, no one objected.
This is a good thing, and it doesn’t mean anything to He Shu.
He Shu also came back to his senses at this time. Yes, Grandpa Dong has been lonely and helpless all his life. What's wrong with calling him grandpa?
He never objects to having another relative around him.
So He Shu happily walked to Grandpa Dong and refused to stop him no matter how hard Grandpa Dong tried.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Grandpa Dong, then called out, "Grandpa."
The word "Grandpa" made Mr. Dong burst into tears. He pulled He Shu hard and asked him to get up.
"Well, my boss has a grandson now."
